I just?? love BanDori's character writing so much???

it has a bunch of archetypes but instead of holding the characters back, they just use them as a base to add onto and make all the girls so incredibly. REALISTIC. I was Ako when I was her age. all of Afterglow feels natural as childhood friends with established roles and relationships and in-jokes. Chisato acts exactly like someone who's been in the industry for years WOULD even if it's harsh sometimes. Hina and Sayo's relationship is complex and natural because they're both complex and natural personalities (Hina especially is super interesting to me). even the HaroHapi girls, while obv exaggerated, don't feel like they're just over-the-top stereotypes (I swear I met a Kokoro once. minus the money). Rinko struggles with her shyness/social anxiety but tries to fight it in believeable ways. Arisa may be a tsun but she's the kinda tsun who uses her tsun-ness to call out the stupid things nobody would, which I always like. Kasumi's desire to find the "star beat" and feel the rush of the stage is super relatable to me personally. Tae is exactly like one of my best friends, Yukina's motivations are believeable and her attitude makes sense, I could go on forever about their initial, non-story-developed personalities alone

and that's not even to start on the interactions?? I love the juxtaposition of Hina/Sayo & Ako/Tomoe because both are believeable sibling relationships (the Hikawas are a Duh but the Udagawas also feel very natural because Tomoe is established as the Mom Friend so obv she'd be that to Ako too), I love it when the really happy characters interact and hype each other up, I love how some relationships are preestablished and really feel like they've known each other for longer, I love how they're not afraid to keep! having everyone meet each other! in events and showing how they all play off each other

I just. BanDori honestly has some of the best character writing I've seen in a while. all the while balancing drama and emotional scenes with light-heartedness and fun and friendship in a way that never feels jarring oh god I love BanDori so much and I'm so glad for EN showing this to everyone. even the stories I skipped on JP because they didn't look interesting and I don't have enough patience to listen to everything are appealing to me now. I just. I love BanDori guys

Hi guys ^_^!! I miss u all T-T.....it was a long time since I haven't posted anything because u all know " study " but I will do my best to be active again ,but can I ask a question? I will get a new phone and I want to transfer my account here to it, is that possible ?

okay so.

I was playing two hours straight so that I can secure a spot in Top 1K. At THREE MINUTES before the cutoff, I was at #1030. I knew 3 mins is enough time to squeeze 1 more attempt and I accepted my fate.

"Calculating..." "#991"

Nyyyello I been seeing this around lately and thought; Y'know what why not.

(I also alternatively need something to keep my mind off of gacha hell at the moment so yea! Answers are in comments!)

So it's been one year today since I joined this website, so get ready for this post to be very emotional.

My entire experience on this website has been absolutely amazing. Hands down the most wholesome online community I've ever been apart of. Everyone on here is an amazing person. I refuse to write a list of people who I think are amazing because my anxiety will hate me way too much if I don't list every single person I've ever interacted with, so just know that you guys are all amazing. Even if I still don't have much self-confidence, I can still say that I would not have as much confidence as I do now without everyone on here.

Back in July and August or whatever I can't keep track of time anymore, you guys really helped me with coming out as gay to my friends. I for sure would not have been able to do that without your support. Oh, I just remembered how I came out to you guys. It was so stupid. It was just me saying that I think Inosuke is hot. By the way, I still haven't come out to my parents like I said I was going to. I'm still really scared even though I don't think I should be.

Umm, I'm not sure what else to talk about. Basically you guys are just incredible. Thank you so much for everything this past year.

Sorry for the negative post but why are the bs3 card's so plain now?

I know the artists are trying their best to release 5 cards every event but couldn't they put a little more effort to design the bs3 outfits and make the cards more detailed?

Idk it's just that bs3 is where a lot of the girls get huge character development and I'm just a little disappointed that the cards don't have that emotion or detail the bs2 cards have.

The bs2 had really memorable costumes like neo aspect and tied to the skies but I just don't see that special 'band story' vibe about these bs3 cards.

Feel free to disagree in the comments, I'm just really underwhelmed rn.
